Does This Happen To Any Of You?

[C.L.G]

This happened to me a few times,but I had to sleep otherwise I'll get tired when driving to work. I'll just write notes or random words in a journal before I go to bed. My brain can pick up the pieces.

I actually haven't had that happen where the dialogue was perfect and the scene was if I'm being real. I'm hella visual so I will most likely see the scene and hear key phrases (often not even whole sentences) that my brain wants me to work around. Like odds are I'll be writing out specific scenes to draw later when something akin to this feeling happens over scripting dialogue.

If this feeling does happen to me or has and I don't remember, It's bc I was in bed like.... well if it's leaving this much of an impression, you can script it out in the morning Lady. So spin the wheel if I remembered or not, but if I took some notes at least I should be able to retrace my steps.

Depends when I'm in work the next morning, or if I can afford to stay up if it means lying in.
You can't control that motivation, so sometimes you gotta grab hold of it when it strikes.

Oh, this is similar to what I meant actually! Sometimes key phrases come into my head that I feel 'yes, this perfectly conveys what this character is trying to say at the moment', so I write it down, but I also have to make notes about the surrounding context (which aren't perfectly phrased, but felt necessary to me because sometimes the timing/beats of the scene is what makes those 'key phrases' sound perfect to by brain). And while it's not a full script from beginning to end, it adds up and before I know it I've been writing for 2 hours

I also used to think 'if it's really that good surely it'll stick with me long enough for me to write it down tomorrow', but I've woken up with the feeling that 'I came up with something good last night but now I can't remember it for the life of me' too many times now to trust that thought :'D Even if I jot down the important bits/'key phrases', it'll just be a bunch of out-of-context phrases the next day with most of the magic gone XD
